Sponsored by the San Diego Business Journal, the award recognizes dynamic women business leaders who have contributed significantly to San Diego’s businesses.

“I’m honored to be named as a Women Who Mean Business Award finalist and to be included among so many other outstanding and dedicated women. Practicing family law is something I enjoy, because of the personal relationships with my clients and the opportunity to help people change their lives,” said Fleischer.

Fleischer was named Best Lawyer in 2012 and 2011 by the readers of the Del Mar Times and Carmel Valley News; and was named one of San Diego’s “Top Influentials” in 2012 by a panel of community leaders.
